It was one of the first times I had cried it. “No one is going to be interested in the other times I got it right and got a round of applause.“The whole weekend I was desperately trying to be so respectful and the last thing I would do is make fun out of the whole situation.” Viewers joked that he had seen Hamilton too many times or wondered whether he confused the new King with his grandson Prince George or his grandfather King George VI.
